Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"The product is simple to use."
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use. It's a simple product. You can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"User session details"
"The product can scale."
 

Cons

"I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"The integration must be improved."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"It is not expensive."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
